The European Currency Unit was an accounting unit used by the EU, based on the currencies of the member states; it was not a currency in its own right.

Their exchange rates were locked at fixed rates against each other. The euro thus became the successor to the <a href="/wiki/European_Currency_Unit" title="European Currency Unit">European Currency Unit</a> (ECU).

The official date on which the national currencies ceased to be legal tender varied from member state to member state. The earliest date was in Germany, where the <a href="/wiki/Deutsche_Mark" title="Deutsche Mark">mark</a> officially ceased to be legal tender on 31 December 2001, though the exchange period lasted for two months more. Even after the old currencies ceased to be legal tender, they continued to be accepted by national central banks for periods ranging from several years to indefinitely (the latter for Austria, Germany, Ireland, Estonia and Latvia in banknotes and coins, and for Belgium, Luxembourg, Slovenia and Slovakia in banknotes only).
